昨天在电视上看到一场名为"与你共舞"的音乐会,在众多优美的曲目中,我再次听到了那首"one day when we were young--当我们年轻时".

记得第一次听这支歌是母亲唱的.当时年纪还小,也还不会英文.也许是因为母亲很少唱歌,也许是那曲调在当时显得另类,总之,我很快记住了她那句轻柔的"one day".

开放伊始,我看了电影<<翠堤春晓>>,算是找到了"one day"的出处.觉得旋律歌词都很美,便找来歌谱学唱,不过只对第一段最熟.
One day when we were young,
one wonderful morning in May,
you told me you love me,
when we were young one day......

十几年后,偶然在国外再次看到这部影片.女主角唱着"one day when we were young"乘船离去.
Sweet songs of spring were sung,
and music was never so gay,
you told me you love me,
when we were young one day.
You told me you love me,
and held me close to your heart,
we laughed then,we cried then,
then came the time to part......
接下来的词我听不清了,只看斯人渐行渐远,留下一片波光莹莹.愈来愈觉得那扮演约翰．施特劳斯的男主角很像一位旧友.

假期陪女儿去卡拉ok,发现她选的英文歌我基本都不会唱.找来找去想起久违了的"当我们年轻时".我随着伴奏一点点检回记忆,终于唱到了结尾.
When songs of spring are sung,
remember that morning in May.
Remember,you loved me,
when we were young one day.
